On this page you will be able to order Megillah scrolls. The standard Megilla scroll has 20 columns of text consisting of 21 lines. The first word at the top of each column is “Hamelech” i.e. the King. This recent custom is based on the idea that the hidden hand of G-d’s providence is present everywhere even in the darkest exile. The Jews could only see the visible Persian King who ruled them, but it truth the real King of Kings was always in control.
